Harris campaign looks to Nevada Filipino vote to capture the state

Published October 2, 2024 9:45pm ET



Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign is aggressively courting Filipino voters in the key swing state of Nevada.

The Asian American population has risen in the state in recent years, coming to make up 12% of the total state population, NBC News reported. Of these, an overwhelming majority are Filipinos, many of whom fled Hawaii and California in recent years due to rising costs. The Harris campaign sees this burgeoning demographic as a decisive factor in capturing the state’s six Electoral College votes, and it has invested a significant amount of resources to win them over.
